The `init` section is a list of images that are used for the `init` system and are unpacked directly

These containers are run to completion sequentially, using `runc` before anything else is started.

The `onboot` section is a list of images. These images are run before any other

## Image specification
For each image in the `system` and `daemon` sections you can specify the OCI options that are passed to
`runc`, so you can specify what capabilities are needed and so on. Most LinuxKit packages now define defaults in the `org.mobyproject.config` image label. For more details see the [OCI specification](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec/blob/master/spec.md).
Entries in the `onboot` and `services` sections specify an OCI image and
options. Default values may be specified using the `org.mobyproject.config` image label.
For more details see the [OCI specification](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec/blob/master/spec.md).
